200A Electrical Panel Upgrade
Upgrade Your Electrical Capacity for Modern Power Demands
Today's homes and businesses rely on more electrical equipment than ever. EV chargers, HVAC systems, electric appliances, home offices, commercial equipment, and other high-demand systems can quickly push an older electrical panel toward its limits.
Gator Electric provides professional 200A panel upgrade services for residential and commercial properties throughout Palm Beach County. We evaluate your existing electrical system and determine whether upgrading to a 200A panel can provide the capacity and flexibility your property needs.
Is Your Current Panel Struggling to Keep Up?
An older or undersized electrical panel can become a limitation as your electrical needs grow. Even if everything appears to be working normally, limited capacity can make adding new equipment more difficult.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 200A panel upgrade mean?
It generally means upgrading the electrical panel and, when required, associated service equipment so the property can be supplied and distributed with up to 200 amps of electrical service, subject to the utility and installation requirements.
Does every home need a 200A panel?
No. The appropriate electrical service size depends on the property's calculated load and electrical requirements.
Will upgrading to 200A stop my breakers from tripping?
It may help if insufficient capacity is contributing to the problem, but breaker trips can have many causes. The electrical system should be evaluated to determine the actual issue.
Do I need a 200A upgrade for an EV charger?
Not necessarily. It depends on your existing service capacity, current electrical load, and the requirements of the EV charger.
Can I add more circuits without upgrading to 200A?
Sometimes. If your existing panel and service have sufficient capacity and available spaces, additional circuits may be possible. An electrician can determine what's appropriate.
Does a 200A panel upgrade require utility coordination?
It can, particularly when the service size or service entrance equipment is being changed. Utility requirements vary by location and project.
How long does a 200A panel upgrade take?
The timeline depends on the existing electrical system, panel configuration, required service work, utility coordination, and project scope.
Can you tell me whether I need 200A or 400A service?
Yes. An electrical load evaluation can help determine the appropriate service capacity based on your property's existing and planned electrical requirements.
